Add a Dropdown List

This page is devoted to only adding a Dropdown List to your Form.

To learn about Single and Multiple Selection Lists, click here.

A Dropdown List enables you to offer a customer

a wide variety of choices.

As an added benefit,all these choices won't take up extra space

on your Form.

Place a Form into a page, insert a Table, and click the cursor in the Table.

Then, click on the Dropdown List icon in the Forms Toolbar.

The Selection Field Properties window will appear, seen below.

example: a title could be named Locate a West Coast Office.

You can get all the Form's data from Reports. For more about Reports, see the bottom of the page Form Example,
